From Nindigully to Bungunya

The Barwon Highway is one rough old road, worn and weary after being serviced by too many road trains. Staying in the middle is the only way to travel and even there the corrugated bitumen makes for a bumpy ride. There’s some little places along the way. Blink and they’re gone. But once these small outback towns, boasted of thriving communities, built on the back of grazing and cropping.
